For their wedding song, the couple chose the 1961 blues ballad originally performed by Ben E. King that first rose to popularity during the Civil Rights movement. Here performed by the British gospel group, the Kingdom Choir, Karen Gibson conductor & founder. http://time.com/5282658/royal-wedding-stand-by-me-meaning/
